Self, Manning, and Hudy should be kept 'untouchable' in Lawrence.
They are in a sense well paid but it would not be money that lures Danny --if necessary elevate him to HC of the Ladies Jayhawks! Whatever it takes, keep them happy!

It has to be a matter of time before some program offers Manning a head coach position. So many KU assistants in the past have been, and their individual stamp on the product on the court was usually not so evident as Manning's work with the bigs has been. A mid-major team wanting to build around a dominant front court could do a lot worse than him.
